Gilbert

It's getting pretty late when the awesome me starts heading back to Matt's house. I'm weighed down by a rather large bag of little boy's clothes, but it doesn't bother me. I love taking care of this kid, and there's no one I'd rather have by my side to help then Matt. We could be a family, but there's no way that either of them want that. Well, Blue might, but that's because he met Matt and I at the the same time, and any kid his age would see us like that, with the Canadian's motherly nature and my tough guy act.

As I'm walking toward the bus stop, I first get this feeling that someone's watching me, then like something's wrong. I look around, beginning to walk faster, but I don't see anything or one. I slow, telling myself that nothing's wrong. It's just the night playing tricks on me.

But is it really? I suddenly get this feeling that I need to be back right now, that something very wrong is about to happen. I break into a run, stopping at the bus stop just as it pulls up. Good, I didn't miss it. I just hope I can be back home before whatever happens, happens.

Matthew

The next door neighbor's dog starts barking suddenly as I'm pinning Blue up into a very small shirt of mine, which is still quite big for him, and I turn to look out the window because it never barks. After a moment, it stops, and I turn back to the child, confused. "What's wrong, mila?"

"Oh, just wondering what that dog was barking about, since out of all the time I've lived here, it hasn't barked more then a handful of times."

"Oh. Maybe it senses something that shouldn't be there?"

"Maybe, I don't know." I finish with the last pin and pat him on the head. "Alright, all done. How about you go play while I get some dinner?"

"Okay!" He jumps up and run to the toy box, digging out little cat figures and sticking them in the front seats of the cars. He's just so adorable, it's not even funny.

As I'm in the kitchen making spaghetti, I listen to the sound of the meowing cars. I forget to check the noodles, though, and they over boil, making a rather loud sizzling noise on the stove top. I get it straightened out, and the noise goes down, and I notice that something's wrong.

It's too quiet. I go into the living room, where he should be playing. He's not there. With a small jolt of panic, I race throughout the house, trying to find him, calling his name. He's not here. Then I notice that the front door is wide open. Where's Blue?

Francis

I see Matthew's noodles boil over, and take this as my chance. I'm veering a little off of the plan, but improv is one of my strong suits. I open the door, snatch up the child, and run. That dog over there barks again, and I run harder, trying to get away before Mattie finds that open door. I just kidnapped a child, and I'm not scared about it at all.

Blue

That scary man who tried taking me before is taking me now, and he has his hand over my mouth so I can't scream or cry out to anyone. He runs with me in his arms to a car a few blocks away from mila, and throws me in the trunk on top of some blankets and a pillow. He shuts the trunk door, and it goes dark.

I'm really scared. This is reminding me too much of before I came to Toronto. I begin to cry, whispering my sort of parents names over and over again.

Waiting for them to come save me.

A/N Sorry that this update took so long, but I was kinda out of ideas until today. I wasn't going to do a backstory for Blue, but I figured you guys would want something to read. Also, I'm not like most authors who say "Please Vote And Comment". I'm not going to bore you guys with that crap. It'd be nice, but I'm not going too sit here and beg for it every chapter. No thanks. 

Happy Reading!
